How many are prepared to go to the convention in July 2016 as a Bernie

voting delegate.

Will your state give Bernie a hard time getting on the primary ballot.

1. It is unlikely he will get on the ballot in Kentucky.

We have closed primaries and it is either a Democrat or a Republican. You must be a registered Democrat or have run and won as a Democrat in the past and be polling nationally at 20%. Now, I am not saying that Kentucky won't change the rules and I hope they do but Bernie supporters should be aware that every state has its own rules. The DNC does not make the rules for each state and neither does the Clinton campaign.

2. I would LOVE to do that. I am prepared.

He will be on the ballot in my state.

4. Now is the time to start the process, every state is different. You don't just walk in

and expect to go to the party convention.

Also checkout if you need to make your own motel/hotel arrangements.

5. I am familiar with the process. I just finished my second term as an elected member

of the Democratic Central Committee in my county.

6. He will probably be on the ballot in Minnesota

I have no idea who will be chosen as the voting delegates in Minnesota. We are still working toward getting a table at the state fair.

7. I don't ever recall it being an issue

to be put on the primary ballot in the first place. Someone running as an independent or third party candidate in the general election is another story.

8. I'd go in a minute, but there is zero chance of me

becoming a national delegate. I can probably be a delegate to the state convention in MN, but no way could I get elected at that convention as a national delegate. Those elected will all be state Senate district an congressional district officers, at a minimum. State legislators have even higher priority. That's how it works. They're all front line DFL Party leaders.

It's the same in most states. The MN delegation will be for Hillary. I guarantee it. Hillary Clinton will also win the MN primary, going away. I love Bernie, but he's not going to win Minnesota. Not even close.

If he wins a single primary, I will be surprised. Maybe Vermont. Maybe.

I'm sad to say that, but it's true. His national polling numbers are not showing a surge. Hillary's did though, as soon as Biden wasn't included. Clinton got his polling votes. Sanders stayed stationary.

I see no path to a Sanders nomination at this point. I'll still caucus for him in MN, but it won't matter. DU wants him, but that's no way enough. There's a whole party to deal with, and they're liking Clinton. That's the plain truth.
